it is amazing how people can keep talking about free markets in ICANN's self-imposed world of "cost-recovery". WLS is a registry service. TLD Registries, in the land of ICANN, are mandated to be cost-recovery. How does an analogy to a free market such as property or land have absolutely anything to do with cost-recovery, and therefore WLS? Or perhaps you are suggesting that models mandating cost-recovery by way of "mutual agreement" with the USG gatekeeper is nothing more than a form of Communism?
